Nicole Kidman is only 12 years older than Jason Momoa, who is set to star as Aquaman in the highly-anticipated film.
The 37-year-old Game Of Thrones hunk made a brief appearance as Aquaman last year in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice and reprised his role as the Atlantean superhero in Justice League, which is due out November 17.
As for the stand-alone Aquaman movie, Jason attended a table reading earlier this week.
Production is expected to begin in Queensland, Australia as early as April, although previous reports had suggested filming would begin in May.

If the deal goes through, the Australian actress would play the superhero's mother, Atlanna, who hails from royalty in the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. As the story goes, she escapes her kingdom and falls in love with a lighthouse keeper, giving birth to the boy who will one day grow up to be a bridge between two worlds.
The new report also revealed that Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who starred on Netflix’s The Get Down, is in early talks to play the villain known as Black Manta.
Meanwhile, Amber Heard is already on board as Mera, Aquaman's love interest, and Willem Dafoe will portray Aquaman’s advisor, scientist Dr. Vulko. Patrick Wilson will play Orm, Aquaman’s villainous half-brother.
